Addressing a press conference, AHF leaders said that they would also arrange a national conference on the present political condition of the country to discuss major issues, including the Kalabagh Dam. Youth Force President Imtiaz Ahmed Mujahid, Senior Vice President Abdul Haleem Janbaz, Central Information Secretary Shakeelur Rehman Nasir and other leaders said that leaders from all four provinces and AJK would be attending the conference scheduled on December 25 at Lahore.
